Abstract:
The study included 1880 necropsies and 8,217 biopsies and surgical pieces seen at the Pathology Department of the Hospital Infantil de México from 1968 to 1977. Among necropsies, two cases (0.10%) of cholecystitis and/or cholecystolithiasis were found and among surgical pieces there were seven (0.08%). Seven cases were females and two males. The symptoms most frequently found were: abdominal pain, jaundice, vomiting and leukocytosis. Morphologically, there were three cases of chronic cholecystitis with cholecystolithiasis, two cases of acute cholecystitis without calculi, two cases of chronic cholecystitis without calculi, one case of acute and chronic cholecystitis without calculi and another one cholecystolithiasis without inflammatory manifestations of the gallbladder. As etiological or predisposing factors we found: obesity, infections, parasitosis, hematologic disturbances, dilatation of the choledochus and one case with diaphragm of the 4th portion of the duodenum.
